Meditation #17 By John Donne From Devotions upon Emergent Occasions (1623), XVII:
Nunc Lento Sonitu Dicunt, Morieris (Now this bell, tolling softly for another, says to me, Thou must die.)
We live between the darkness of the womb and the darkness of death, as our body changes state and our soul moves into the light. The space between life and death is very fine. Our souls ascend and descend as we move through the times of growth and times of decline. Each cycle of the spiral adds to our understanding, to opening ourselves to the infinite. Opposing forces are complementary and allow balance to be found both within and without. At death time stops for the physical but does not end the energy that is you
